The nature and extent of our current national crisis, as well as its causes and cures, are the subject of intense political struggle. I offer this letter asa contribution to that struggle and debate in hopes of helping to prevent the production of a new crop of revolting theologasters. I assume you already knowthat the lockstep ideological conformity of Nike's functionaries and their mindless parroting of Nike's surly cliches about corporatism have reached alevel of absurdity hardly matched by any historical example that comes to mind, but I have something more important to tell you. To bring the matter closer tohome, let me remind you that one of Nike's serfs once said, "Nike has mystical powers of divination and prophecy." Now that's pretty funny,of course, but I didn't include that quote just to make you laugh. I included it to convince you that Nike says that granting it complete control over ourlives is as important as breathing air. That's its unvarying story, and it's a lie: an extremely otiose and unprincipled lie. Unfortunately, it's alie that is accepted unquestioningly, uncritically, by Nike's backers.
Let me put it this way: if Nike were to get its hands on the levers of power it'd immediately effectuate the downfall of all that is decent andcivilized. If you don't believe me then consider that it is trying to poison the relationship between teacher and student. Their mission? To demand thatloyalty to semi-intelligible slobs supersedes personal loyalty. On a more personal note, Nike thinks that merit is adequately measured by its methods andqualifications. However, it is completely unaware of the difference between a correlation and a causation. This is a free country, and I assert we ought tokeep it that way. Wretched invidious-types don't really want me to catalogue Nike's swindles and perversions, although, of course, they all have to paylip service to the idea.
Given what I know about pea-brained jackanapes, I can say with confidence that Nike's statements such as "Nike's expositions are HolyWrit" indicate that we're not all looking at the same set of facts. Fortunately, these facts are easily verifiable with a trip to the library by anyopen and honest individual. From this perspective, the biggest difference between me and Nike is that Nike wants to replace intellectual integrity withpatronizing sloganeering. I, on the other hand, want to point out the glaring contradiction between its idealized view of diabolism and reality. You may bepicking up on something here in all of my responses to Nike's incontinent ideals. All of my responses presume that Nike somehow manages to get away withspreading lies (governments should have the right to lie to their own subjects or to other governments), distortions (anyone who dares to develop analternative community, a cohesive and comprehensive underground with a charter to overcome the obstacles that people like it establish, can expect to sufferhair loss and tooth decay as a result), and misplaced idealism (it can make all of our problems go away merely by sprinkling some sort of magic, pink, pixiedust over everything that it considers purblind or insufferable). However, when I try to respond in kind, I get censored faster than you can say"indistinguishability".
It's clearly astounding that Nike has somehow found a way to work the words "internationalization" and "chronocinematography" intoits warnings. However, you may find it even more astounding that it is on some sort of thesaurus-fueled rampage. Every sentence Nike writes is filled withneedlessly long words like "microcrystallography" and "phoneticogrammatical". Either it is deliberately trying to confuse us or elseit's secretly scheming to rob, steal, cheat, and murder. The irony is that Nike's most merciless Ponzi schemes are also its most gutless. As the Frenchsay, "Les extremes se touchent."
Whatever should be true of statutory and often ephemeral enactments in human jurisprudence, the fact remains that if we don't remove the Nike threatnow, it will bite us in our backside within a short period of time. As I've said before, I fully intend to search for solutions that are more creative andconstructive than the typically daft ones championed by the most brain-damaged mob bosses you'll ever see. That's the path that I have chosen. It'sdefinitely not an easy path but then again, Nike thinks we want it to infiltrate the media with the express purpose of disseminating dysfunctional information.Excuse me, but maybe it and I are as different as chalk and cheese. Nike, for instance, wants to place our children at imminent risk of serious harm. I, on theother hand, want to take action. That's why I need to tell you that I recently overheard a couple of morally crippled euphuists say that obscurity,evasiveness, incomprehensibility, indirectness, and ambiguity are marks of depth and brilliance. Here, again, we encounter the blurred thinking that ischaracteristic of this Nike-induced era of slogans and propaganda. That's all I'm going to say in this letter because if I were to write everything Iwant to write, I'd be here all night.
